Chapter 183-Ambition
"That's great!" Yu Jiuer jumped up with joy and said impatiently, "Let's go and check out the shop now!"
Yu Jiuer felt very comfortable being a robber. She bypassed Jun Mo and consciously arranged tasks for Wei Zheng this morning:
"Your Majesty, lend me Wei Zheng first!"
What else can Jun Mo say? It's better than letting her blackmail others, right?
He even dares to blackmail the Prime Minister, and he is so bold. I feel uneasy if I don't keep an eye on him.
Wei Zheng's shop sells ready-made clothes and is in an excellent location among the silk shops.
Yu Jiuer was very satisfied and stuffed Yu Tao into his arms: "Yu Tao, thank Deputy General Wei! This store will be under your name from now on! Your family will borrow it first!"
"Ninth Miss, how can you value profit over friendship?" Yu Tao blushed with shame.
She stepped out of Wei Zheng's arms, bowed to him respectfully, and was about to explain to him, but was stopped by Wei Zheng:
"No, Yutao, what's mine is yours, why thank me? I also own a pawn shop, a restaurant, and a grocery store, I'll give them all to you!"
"No, this is not right!" Yu Tao waved her hands repeatedly. The Wei family didn't accept her in the first place, and if Wei Zheng gave all his belongings to her, people who didn't know would think she was a liar! She obviously didn't think about it in this way.
But Yu Jiuer was different. When she heard Wei Zheng report his family property, she immediately became jealous and agreed on behalf of Yu Tao: "What's wrong with that? You can easily manage the entire Fengle Street in Liangzhou Prefecture, so don't underestimate yourself. I'll give it to you, so just help manage it well!"
Now I’m rich. I didn’t expect Wei Zheng to be so rich!
Yu Tao stamped her feet anxiously and said, "A store in Beijing is worth an entire Fengle Street, how can this be compared? Brother Wei, do your family members know that you are doing this? I don't want people to think that I am a seductive demon!"
She thought far ahead and didn't dare to be as shameless and presumptuous as Yu Jiuer.
It's okay to borrow a shop for emergency use, but how can you ask for all the belongings of someone?
"These shops are all earned by me, Wei Zheng, and have nothing to do with my family. If anyone dares to say anything bad about you, I, Wei Zheng, will be the first to not forgive him!"
Wei Zheng rarely abandoned gentlemanly etiquette, and took Yu Tao's hand in front of everyone, saying slowly and affectionately, "I am lucky to have your favor for three years! Not to mention a few shops, even if you give me my life, I would be willing to do it!"
"I've already told you I can't have it..." This sudden and affectionate confession made Yutao blush even more with embarrassment.
At the same time, she was very anxious. She pulled her hand away, not knowing how to refuse for a moment.
Yu Jiuer showed her shameless nature again and accepted it directly for Yu Tao: "Yu Tao is thin-skinned, Deputy General Wei, you can just transfer it directly! Now you are richer than me and the prince, we will have to rely on you in the future!"
She was telling the truth. She and the prince were burdened with heavy responsibilities, and the money in their pockets was not even as much as that of their subordinates.
As loyal and devoted subordinates, shouldn't they help out with some subsidies?
Anyway, Yutao is also from Yinshan who is disliked by the Wei family. No matter how politely she refuses, she will not be able to change their minds. It is better to just throw the jar into the air.
If I can help Wei Zheng develop his industry, what else will they say?
Yu Jiuer winked at Yu Tao and said, "Yu Tao, just treat it as hard work and help Wei Zheng manage the industry! Show us your abilities, I have always been optimistic about you!"
Yutao still wanted to refuse, but Wei Zheng and Yu Jiuer were already discussing the transfer of ownership and the business in their previous store. They had no time to pay attention to Yutao, the person involved.
Wei Zheng said sincerely, "The business of these shops has been tepid, but they barely make a loss. If they can flourish in Yu Tao's hands, it will be my way of repaying the warm hospitality of the people of Yinshan. When I get old, I also want to return to Yinshan County to retire. This will be my thank you gift in advance!"
"Okay! Okay! I didn't expect you, Wei Zheng, to be so sensible! I would be sorry if I can't help your wife get rich! Just leave it to us!" Yu Jiuer took it without any mercy.
Who told the prince to sell out all the shops in the capital in order to support the army?
Didn't he think that one day he would return to the capital with his wife? Would he need to build a house in this prime location in the capital where every inch of land is worth a lot of money?
She was so shameless that she had to borrow the pedal!
Yu Jiuer said to Yu Tao seriously, "Yu Tao, think about it. One day, if most of the shops visited by people in the capital are owned by us Yinshan people, and they are still unable to stop shopping, who will dare to look down on us?"
Even though she couldn't shine elsewhere, she could at least become a wealthy tyrant in the capital and blind those people in the capital who looked down on the people from Yinshan, right?
Yu Tao looked at Yu Jiuer in a daze. She didn’t expect that the Ninth Lady had such ambitions?
Yu Jiuer added: "Think about the merchants who are now famous in the capital. On the surface, they are famous because of Shang Buqun, the Prime Minister. But if you think about it carefully, if they didn't have the solid business background of several generations of merchants, how could they make such a big splash? Merchants also rely on business to support their current glory! We should learn from them!"
Yu Tao's blood boiled with excitement, and she said to Yu Jiu'er solemnly: "Miss Jiu, since you have such great ambitions, I, Yu Tao, will do my best to help you!"
Wei Zheng, this fool, was grinning so hard that he couldn't stop. No one else could be so happy to give away his own belongings!
At this moment, a clear voice suddenly sounded behind the few people who were busy talking: "Girl, your remarks are quite original! Sorry, I accidentally overheard your conversation!"
Yu Jiuer turned around and what came into her sight was a young lady dressed in silk and satin, and wearing gold and jade, who was smiling at them.
"I don't deserve it!" Yu Jiuer nodded at the other party and smiled back.
Not many people would think of her this way even though they knew she was from Yinshan.
Judging from her attire, she must be a wealthy or noble person. It is rare that she does not look down on Yinshan County like most people do.
"Excuse me, who are you..." Yu Jiuer immediately wanted to make friends with this woman whose eyes were full of sincerity.
"The merchant you're talking about! See you later!" The woman bowed to Yu Jiuer, and left with a group of maids and guards, smiling meaningfully.
Relying on his power, Wei Zheng handled the transfer of the store quickly and smoothly.
Yu Jiuer only said to Yu Tao: "First, clear out this clothing store on Jinghang Street. It should sell our moisturizer. You can manage the other stores first. Tell me if you need anything. I need to concentrate on getting more moisturizer before the tea feast."
We only made more than a hundred bottles before, which would definitely not be enough if we started selling them.
After returning home, Yu Jiuer set her sights on the servants in the palace.
Originally, Jun Mo had left the decision of whether to stay or go of the servants in the mansion to her, but she was too busy to take care of it. Now, it was time to find something for these idle people to do.
She called housekeeper Feng and ordered, "Gather all the servants in the mansion. I have something to tell them."
Jun Mo seldom had time to manage the affairs of the mansion, so he only told her that Butler Feng was reliable, and that most of the others were sent by Prime Minister Rong, so they were also reliable.
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
Feng Guanjia is a smart man. He had long noticed Jun Mo's special feelings for Yu Jiuer and was very cooperative.
After all the servants gathered, Yu Jiuer divided the more than one hundred servants in the mansion into five groups, forming a professional production line.
Each group only has to take care of one step in making the moisturizer.
In this way, except for the servants in Yu Jiuer's courtyard and housekeeper Feng, no one else could guess what she was going to do.
The last step is to mix and stir the prepared moisturizer ingredients, then put them into porcelain bottles and label them. These steps, which cannot be kept secret, can only be done by the people in her hospital and Yutao.
The servants in the mansion were used to being lazy, and when they heard Yu Jiuer's orders, some of them showed reluctant expressions on their faces.
Some even started whispering:
"When there are concubines, concubines and princesses in the palace, will she dare to order us to do things so arrogantly?"
"I am the only mistress in the mansion now, so I have to show off my power, right?"
"Just bear with it! When the mistress comes to the mansion again, she won't be able to show off anymore!"
